calfoxwc Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 When the chips are down, they will be happy to risk breaking opposing players' necks with facemask grabbing, just like PollyHulaSkirt did before... But I had an interview in Pittsburg. So, I drive out to Pittsburg, and on the way out there, on the expressway, there were cars in the Youngstown area with Steeler bumper stickers. One steeler bumper stickered vehicle flew down the expressway, went past me like I was standing still, (no, I was doing 70) and cut just off the rear bumper of a semi, in front of another semi, then he saw the smokie sitting there, and slammed on his brakes to slow down. Well, I'm following the semi he cut in front of, and the semi driver hit his brakes hard, and my cup of coffee slips out of my hand, rolls down my knee, and pops open on my foot. I got the coffee before I got on 76 E.... and just decided it was cool enough to drink. I was wrong, it was hotter than it should ever be. I was just lucky I had my fancy dress shoes off,... they were sitting on the passenger side floor. So, we survived that ordeal, no accident, assured clear distance and good semi brakes.... and the semi driver was testing out his air horn a good bit. He was not happy. Maybe his coffee fell and popped open somewhere else.. So, I paid my 1.60 cents to get off the turnpike right before PA, and a half mile later, in PA, I pulled up to another toll booth. Instead of getting another stupid toll slip... they charged me and everybody else $3.75 toll. So, I look at him like one of us is a crook, and it isn't me ripping HIM off, and I gave him my Clint Eastwood glare and said: "eh... sorry, but I just got through paying a toll, I think I just need another ticket" well, I was kidding of course. He said in PA they charge the toll ahead of time. I squinted at him more, and paid the goofy toll. So, the guy gave me my receipt, and said, "You know, you look like one of the Everly Brothers"... I said, "It's the suit, it's expensive" and he laughed, and I left. I'm still trying to figure out how I can look like an Everly Brother... but I think it wasn't a compliment, since they are older than I am, assuming they are both still around... Anyways, I arrive at this big building, and there are workers taking a smoke break outside. Yep, they are wearing Steeler jerseys. Real professional. Apparently, every day is bandwagon Steeler fan day in PA... There I was, at the office where my interview is, and the receptionist, a really nice gal, is wearing a Pollymumu jersey. In another office, another gal is wearing a Barfsonhisburger jersey. The interview went great, because on a good day, I can fake being a genius pretty good, so we'll see. It's possible I might have a 6 mo. contract in Pittifulburg, which means I'd had to live there Mon through Thurs, which would really suck if the Steelers beat the Browns both times... Or, I might get to work about 25 hrs a week, telecomuting from home, for 3-5 years, and only come to Pittsblurb when I have meetings with the Java dev team. Hey, he offered it up, and I said I would love that arrangement. So, like I said, the interview went great, which means they probably hire a consultant from India again, who will work 12 hr days 5 days a week, for half what I will make. dammit. Anyways, I left for home, and punched in our address to go home, and let the GPS take me there. PA obviously has a lot of hills, and not many exits or a lot of routes to make choices on. You can take the expressway, or... you can let the doggone GPS take you a bunch of back roads. Well, interestingly, the GPS took me the back way, which is a lot worse "back way" than I would ever have imagined... As in, Rt 30 W for a long time through the hills and curves of tiny little run down small towns, to eventually a couple different side routes, then N on state route 11. I don't know why I had to go N, but it was no turning back. then I was instructed to take Rt 46 for a while, then at one point, I went a long time on Rt 165. I remember seeing a sign pointing to Salem, Ohio... and I crossed St Rt 14 at one point, which is a long ways from home. The backroads route took me out of PA, across the narrow panhandle of WV, and finally back into Ohio. Now all of this would be impossible unless you have a GPS, or you don't have to fake being a genius and have a photographic memory of a very detailed map. Finally, a few hours later, I ended up in familiar territory - Rt 62 in Alliance. You don't ever want to do this route in the winter. Even if you made it, it would take at least twice as long. And, I stopped in WV at a little store, and the gal behind the counter was wearing a Pollyneedsahaircut (borrowed from Flugels) jersey. Those bandwagon stinkler fans are every freakin where. As it ended up, it took me the same amount of time the back way, as the expressway...eh.. way. Less miles, more gas the back way. I hate PIttsburg, I hate the stupid steelers, and paying a turnpike toll in advance sucks worse than Pollyschmumu's hair is way too long, because he is a girly-man. dammit.

Spunkonmyback DPOY Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Just last year Pittsburgh was determined to have the most curtious drivers. http://kdka.com/local/road.rage.survey.2.723990.html What happen to you is an unforunate incident that is normally unheard of. I sure your story has some exaggerration to it becuase of your disgust with the trip. The tolls are rediculous but it has nothing to do with Pittsburgh or the tool booth operator. Its all done in the scewed up state government. How surprising the Democrat run state government would have high taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawgstucknpa Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I live here and you are correct. The highway system is terrible. Tunnels and ridiculous traffic to slow you down. For the most part people here hate to drive on a highway. They talk of going to other cities and being intimidated by highways like 480 (like between Brookpark and Ridge) where there are 5 lanes and people continuously merging. I hate driving here. You always feeling like you're driving in a tunnel because the roads rarely "open up" where you can see far in front of you. The twisting and turning and ALWAYS having to use the parking brake to park, so you don"t ruin the transmission. Wait, there was one more thing.......oh yeah Steeler bumper stickers.

Same with Pittsburgh. I just happen to hate Ravens and Steelers fans on this board because its all anonymous but most, if not all, of the Steelers fans I know are pretty cool. I don't know any Ravens fans at all, but the city is very cool and the people as well. And for the record, if you offered me $500K and 1 new sports car and a Lexus SUV (you can keep the virgins) I would move to Cleveland. LOL.

Vegasdogg Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Cleveland expected to hit 10.3% unemployment by Q4 of 2009. There are a lot of people affected by this, so I suggest you check yourself. Nevada ranks second and Oregon fifth, two states that make up my sales territory. Lots of people hurting out there and you chose to make a cheap joke about it. Why your ass has not been booted is beyond me. You're a moron and probably in your low 20's living with your parents.

Its a GAME you Ricardo-head ... And your an azzz for coming to this pantywaist `s defense. And the answer isn't to chase us all off , we have our own board we frequent . Quite being a freaking sissy and whining every time your offended by a Steeler fan saying anything. You Jaggoff... You guys dont want to hear from us , dont bother to mention us. We wont have much to say at all then. And no Offense , you want to attack every Steeler fans Personally ... Big Brave Internet man that you are. Come on dude its a game ... get over us.

calfoxwc Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sad that the Steelers have been winning, and some of their fans are still freakin hateful. That's what bandwagonerism will do for ya. OTH, we Browns fans hang in there through thick and thin, and eventually, we will be winning too. Which, reminds me of a story... LOL A neighbor friend walked across the field and brought us a couple of canned pints of peppers. Well, we ended up deciding that the Browns were going to win tomorrow, and our neighbor explained, "yeah, because Edwards is gone..." Seems that he has a friend who was a scout for the Texans back in the day when Edwards was heading for the draft. He scouted Edwards, and insisted the Texans avoid him like the plague - the kid just couldn't catch the ball. Came time to draft, and a few other scouts and coaches were thinking Edwards, but this neighbor's friend insisted "Do NOT draft him, he doesn't catch the ball, he has rock hands"... So, they passed on Edwards, and the Browns drafted him. And guess what? Of course - Braylon never could catch the ball but rarely. And once they had Edwards have a machine throw passes to him. Of all the footballs thrown to him, Edwards only caught 2 or 3. BTW, Someone mentioned the tunnels on the PA turnpike... I almost went through a tunnel, but at the last minute, I got off the exit right before it, because it was FreakofSteel08 sitting on the expressway...
